They have had successful careers in the industry in a variety of capacities and have worked at a variety of places, including BurkleHagen Photography (Cleveland), 马特·里斯照片(哥伦布), 多功能工作室(纽约), Power Creative(路易斯维尔, Ky.), Richard Reinsdorf Photography (Los Angeles, Calif.), Sarah Silver (New York City), Sarah Kehoe Photography, (New York City), Wayfair.com (Cincinnati), Liz Von Hoene Photography (Atlanta, Ga.), Amazon (Kentucky), Marie Claire Magazine (New York City) • Outsider Magazine (Santa Fe, N.M.), and the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops (Santa Fe, N.M.).

This sequence takes three semesters to complete, and many students opt to continue a fourth to expand coursework and/or work on their 硕士项目.
